I'll be in the Cloudcroft area between 14-20 August, and I'm wondering if anyone here ever climbs, or knows people who climb, at the tunnels crag on 82? I've seen people climbing there before and I'd like to check it out, but I can't bring my rope, etc., and would need a partner anyway.

The climbing at the Tunnel is really fun. In August you will be stuck on the shady side, as I am sure you know, but there is plenty to climb there. I would suggest that you try to get in touch with John Hymer, who is a local, a really nice guy, and probably can hook you up with someone to climb with. Falcon's Rock Climbing New Mexico has a pretty decent description of both the shady and sunny sides.

A lot of climbers from Las Cruces, especially NMSU students frequent the place. If the temp is 60 or above in Alamo you'll be stuck on the shady side unless you want to bake on the sunny side. You could go to the NMSU climbing wall and hit up some locals there. I'm sure they'd be happy to go.
